Chapter 335: A Deadly Sandstorm

This kind of thing has never happened since the Liao State. No matter what kind of consideration, there is only one way to go, send troops to kill Li Yuanhao, if you don't kill Li Yuanhao, if you don't kill it, you won't be able to stand up, and if you don't kill all the small countries around you, you will rise up and rebel!

Liao Emperor Yeluzong's anger is really rising rapidly, how can the invincible military power of more than 100 years be desecrated by inferior party members? The Khitan iron cavalry began to assemble on the Mobei grassland.

In September of the fourth year of Song Qingli, Liao Xingzong Yelu Zong Zhen drove the expedition in person, mobilized the whole country, with the imperial brother Yelu Chongyuan and the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan Han Wang Xiaohui as the vanguard, with a total of more than 170,000 military horses, together with the prince Yelu Hongji went out with the army, which can be described as super important.

But it took nearly a month to get out of the country. It turned out that the country was on fire. Li Yuanhao sent people to sneak into the Liao State and burned all the military grain and grass that the Liao military had hoarded first.

After receiving a blow to the head without engaging in a battle, Yelu Zongzhen was really angry and began to be more careful. He has since acted very cautiously. In October of that year, the Liao army broke through to the border of Western Xia. The national border between Liao and Xia is nearly 400 miles long, and there is almost no danger to defend. The Liao army drove straight in, until it approached Xingqingfu, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, and did not encounter the slightest resistance.

The reason for this is that the land of Western Xia is a complete hell, and it has no attraction to the Song Dynasty and the Liao people living in the green world. Of course, except for the Hetao Plain, the major cities of Western Xia are clustered here, and the rest of the place is either desert or saline-alkali land.

The Liao people only killed until the edge of Helan Mountain to find out the location of the Western Xia army. Li Yuanhao was learning turtles, and he endured in the north of Helan Mountain. In fact, it is impossible for him to go further, and if he goes further, the Liao people will be able to directly break into his house to kill people and set fires.

The position was touched, and the Liao army acted quickly. Yelu Zongzhen himself was stationed on the south wall of the Victory Temple, and the Korean king Xiao Hui led the army to kill him. At this time, Li Yuanhao's color appeared again. The Liao people fought fiercely with 100,000 people and Li Yuanhao's army, and the result was that Li Yuanhao was defeated and fled. And after a defeat, he no longer dared to confront and directly announced his surrender.

A few days later, Li Yuanhao appeared in the imperial camp of Yelu Zong of Liao Xingzong in Hequ (in present-day Yikezhao League, Inner Mongolia), he removed the crown, wore civilian clothes, bowed his head, and walked through the thousands of troops and horses of the Liao people as obediently as he could, endured countless contemptuous and mocking eyes, and came to the emperor of Liao. Next, Li Yuanhao groveled, and in the sound of drums, he personally held a cup and toasted to the emperor of Liao. Break the arrow as an oath, always be a subordinate, and never dare to have two hearts. Yelu Zongzhen may have been insane that day, but he actually accepted the apology, returned a glass of wine to his brother-in-law, and let the person go.

South Korea's Wang Xiaohui was the first to wake up, and he reminded Yelu Zongzhen that the dog that had bitten people would not be familiar with it again, and sooner or later it would have to bite and must be strangled. Yelu Zong's first reaction was really hesitation, and he was hesitating, when he suddenly learned that Xiao Hui had led the army to fight, and cut it directly.

This time, it was Xiao Hui's Liao Army's forward troops and Li Yuanhao's troops who fought against the country.

Li Yuanhao: This time, he chose to give up everything and retreat. Burning the grassland while retreating, the Liao people chased after them until they began to starve. Jianbi Qingye's enrollment has worked, and after letting the rice bags of the Liao people see the bottom. Li Yuanhao suddenly launched an attack and rushed towards Xiao Hui's camp. However, the army of Western Xia was not angry, and in this case, they were all beaten by the Liao army and driven back.

It is said that this is the first time in Li Yuanhao's life that he is so close to death, and his life, country, army, these most precious things, will be taken away in a blink of an eye. But history turned around at this moment, and a sudden strong wind blew, and the sky was dark, and the sand and rocks were flying.

At a critical moment, a large sandstorm saved Western Xia.

Xiao Hui was defeated, and Li Yuanhao rushed to Yelu Zongzhen's imperial camp, which was also a Khitan man, and everyone was equal in front of the sandstorm, so he continued to defeat. Among them, Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen escaped with his son and a few of his closest cronies. ran all the way, so he didn't become a prisoner of his brother-in-law.

In this battle, the 170,000 elite soldiers of the Liao people were annihilated, and the nobles and ministers who accompanied the army were all captured in addition to being killed, which was the only and most painful defeat since the founding of the country 137 years ago.

The direct evil consequence after the defeat was the unconditional recognition of the fact of the independence of Western Xia, and Li Yuanhao and Yeluzong Zhen were on an equal footing from then on. But only on the surface, the more painful price is yet to come.

The fall of the Liao State began at this time, and cracks appeared in the military power of the Hundred Battles, not only did the Western Xia find self-confidence, but even the remote and small countries such as the Jurchen and Bohai behind it also knew that the Khitans were not invincible. In the future, they will all rise up.

The great war between 1044 and 1045 AD can be said to be a watershed in the national fortunes of the Song, Liao, and Western Xia kingdoms.

When I read this history before, Sun Hui always felt a bit nonsensical and a little child's play: a sandstorm changed the outcome of the duel between more than 200,000 troops? But now that he re-examines this history, combined with his own personal experience, he has a new understanding.

If it is said that he used the power of "fire" to change the outcome of the Second Battle of Tokyo, then it can also be said that it was the power of "wind" that changed the outcome of the great battle between Xia Liao.

History is always strikingly similar.

And now Sun Hui is most worried about the person who can have the power of "wind" in Western Xia, and that is Xiao Tiantian.

The scene of her manipulating the wind and rain to extinguish the fire in the stables that day was witnessed by him and could never be fake.

And Wei Muheng also mentioned at the time that this kind of power should be used in the battle array!

And that dream.

In the dream, she once again showed almost the same ability.

By the way, she claimed to be the goddess of ancient Egypt at the time......

And what did the archers and spearmen call her by name, what is Hasul......

Sun Hui's mind suddenly flashed like lightning.

Before Ye Chuchu was teleported to this era, she gave the company the ancient Roman era, but in the process of traveling, she lost her original ability, until she met herself and gave her the power of "mimicry".

Judging from the hints in his dream, will Xiao Tiantian go to ancient Egypt, and will Du Lili go to the Shang Dynasty?

And Xiao Tiantian, who went to ancient Egypt, could it be that she coincidentally got the power of the ancient Egyptian gods and became a goddess in ancient Egyptian myths and legends, and then teleported to this era?

Could it be that her power to control the wind and rain was brought from ancient Egypt, but in the process of traversing, it did not disappear completely?

In ancient Egypt, Hasul was the goddess of love and abundance!
